Dear Carl,
	
Tyler et. al. (2005) state that the yellow and clear glaze used on the
two toned ginger beer bottles was developed in 1835 by William Powell of
Bristol.  This two toned glaze became the industry standard and was
purchased by all of the London Potters.  In 1860 Dolton developed their
own similar glaze.

Hi all, 

What is the earliest context in which you have seen brown and white
"bristol" glaze Ginger Beer (type) bottles? 

thanks,
